zipsplit can do that.
It is provided by the zip rpm.

ZipSplit 2.3 (November 29th 1999)
Usage:  zipsplit [-tips] [-n size] [-r room] [-b path] zipfile
  -t   report how many files it will take, but don't make them
  -i   make index (zipsplit.idx) and count its size against first zip file
  -n   make zip files no larger than "size" (default = 36000)
  -r   leave room for "room" bytes on the first disk (default = 0)
  -b   use "path" for the output zip files
  -p   pause between output zip files
  -s   do a sequential split even if it takes more zip files
  -h   show this help    -v   show version info    -L 

This is used on an existing zip file.
